Retrospective Permits
for Unauthorised Building
Our team are experienced in the permit process for works that have already been constructed and require a retrospective permit. If you’ve been made aware of the need to obtain a permit retrospectively, having the works assessed to ensure they are compliant, safe and built to the latest construction code is one part of the process. Before responding to Council, contact us to help make the process as smooth as possible.
We can help.
The Retrospective Permit Process
Retrospective permits are a term that is used when property owners need to turn works without a permit into compliant and certified building work. The process is formally known as obtaining a Certificate of Substantial Compliance.
This certifies that subsequent occupancy and a completion certification can be made and demonstrate that the necessary building codes and regulations have been met. It’s important to have the property assessed and prepare the application with all of the information required.
